How can I update iPhoto that's locked to another user?

I bought a MacBook Air from a friend but iPhoto is still connected to his Apple ID. Updating iPhoto is not possible any more. Even though I own the computer and the preinstalled software.
The error message (translated from German): "Updates for other accounts available. Login with [email protected] to update software for this account."

You need to ask your friend to call AppleCare and get the Mac and the preinstalled iLife apps released from his ID.

    Is there a way of updating this app with out needing to schools apple ID password. The guy that created it has since left and no-one knows what he set the password to.
    Thanks

    i have iphoto 7.1.5.  How can I update iphoto without buying ilife, which i don't need?

    I'm not sure where you are seeing the "negative reviews" but I like it and many, many people posting here do even though this is a forum for people with problems
    No one knows when the next upgrade will be bu tit will require a purchase
    I'm sure that there will be a few more updated for iPhoto '11 but probably not many - it has had a lot and is approaching the end of its life cycle I would think
    And be sure to have a good backup prior to upgrading (as always) - I suggest in addition to your normal backup routine that you make one more copy of the iPhoto library on your main hard drive if you have space - remember that you need a minimum of 10 GB of free space jus tto run your Mac
    And prior to launching iPhoto '11 the first time be sure to run software update and be sure it is up to the latest version

  • How can I update iPhoto and iMovie on a different apple id without having to buy the apps again?

    I started up my macbook pro 2 years ago using someone else's apple id. I just recently updated my software to OS X Yosemite and now I can't open iPhoto & iMovie.  It says I have to download the latest version. How can I download it using my own apple id without having to purchase it?

    Go to the Mac App Store main page, choose Support under Quick Links, contact Apple, and see what they say.

    You need to sign into the AppStore with the Apple ID used to buy the software. If your husband does not remember the password, it can be reset by him at the MyAppleID page.

  • How can I update iPhoto 4.0.3 w/o buying iLife?

    Is there a way to get a new version of iPhoto without purchasing iLife?
    I have version 4.0.3 and recently saw version 5.0.

    Hello Thomas Huston,
    As far as I know, you have to buy iLife 5 in order to "up-grade" to iPhoto 5.
    But with tongue firmly planted in cheek, why would you want to?
    Even w/fixes & updates, iPhoto 5 still has problems. Unless there is some great feature you saw in 5 that you can't live without, stick with what is working for you and enjoy the, "It Just Works" feeling. And if you do upgrade, be very sure to Backup your photo library. Don't take a chance on losing your photos.
    If you don't want to pay full list, you might try checking out eBay or Amazon. You might find new unopened software at a discount.
    Respectfully,
    Bill Gallagher

  • How can I update iphoto without buying iphoto 11

    I can't get my iphoto 9 to work how can I DL the same iphoto without buying the iphoto 11

    You cannot. You must use the iLife disks or your system restore disk.

  • How to unlock a phone that is locked to a user account after reset?

    I’m writing with an inquiry about the new OS7 upgrades and user account new security.
    We began to receive iPhones 4, 4s and 5 back from our former employees and no longer able to sign back into the phones after a reset. 
    I believe that in order to use any iPhone you needed an existing or new account.
    With the older software we were able to reset a phone through iTunes to default then reassign it to another employee. 
    Since the changes to OS7 after a reset it won’t let us sign in with a any other account expect for the old one that was authorized for a former employee.
    I understand the security concern but in business field this solution does not work since these good phones became no longer usable.
    Please provide a solution on how to bypass the startup screen by creating a new user profile when a phone is reset to factory and connected to wifi or iTunes.
    I believe that the sign in to iTunes should not be mandatory, only for those who like to keep their phone secured as an extra alternative to the password.
    Secondly, older types of iPhones had  defective power button I’m still seeking  answer as to why there is no recall for this repair?
    Hope to hear back from you soon.

    That's called activation lock. You can not bypass it. IF you can provide Apple with proof of ownership for the phones, they may be able to help you.
    Going forward, the best approach is strong policies regarding the return of company owned equipment in working order. Activation locked does not constitute "in working order".
    As to your second question, no one here can address that. This is a user forum. Apple does not participate here.

  • How can I remove an account and apps from another user from my Ipod. My nephew used to live with me and everytime I sync my Ipod his stuff is added to mine. I have no way to contact him for his password.

    I need to know how to remove an iTunes account associated with my computer. My nephew used to live with me but has moved out. Everytime I sync my iPod touch his stuff is added to my device. I have no way to contact him to get his password. How can I make this go away. He listened to music that is very offensive to me and I dont want it in my library or playlists. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance,
    Shelly

    You can use computer iTunes to help.
    Connect your iPod Touch to Computer's iTunes
    In iTunes, select your iPod Touch under DEVICES (left pane).
    On right pane select Music at the top.
    Now you can de-select the music/playlist or anything you don't want and click Sync button bottom right.
    You can do the above for Apps, Books, etc.
    You can of course, de-authorize the computer in iTunes menu Store.
    Note: That will make everything using his AppleID inaccessible.

  • How can I update programs that were purchased for me?

    I received a laptop that was preloaded with Final Cut Pro and Motion. I have updated the OS to 10.9.1 and when I try to install upates for FCP and Motion I get the Apple ID for the person who installed the original programs and no way to change it to my ID. Is there an easy way to transfer them to my ID so I can continue with the updates?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    There's no way at all except to delete them and then buy them from your Apple ID.

  • When doing a MERGE in Oracle SQL, how can I update rows that aren't matched

    Hi,
    create table TEST1
    History_date Date,
    ID NUMBER not null
    create table TEST2
    ID NUMBER not null,
    History_date Date,
    We_history_date Date
    Can we do like this...
    merge into test2 t2
    using
    test1 t1
    ON (t1.id = t2.id)
    when matched
    update set t2.We_history_date = t1.history_date
    when not matched
    update set t2.We_history_date = NVL(t2.we_history_date,SYSDATE);Thanks,
    Edited by: 960736 on Sep 27, 2012 2:05 PM

    There is nothing to update if there is no match.
    You need to INSERT a new record.
    See the Examples section of the MERGE statement in the SQL Language doc
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/statements_9016.htm
    >
    Examples
    Merging into a Table: Example The following example uses the bonuses table in the sample schema oe with a default bonus of 100. It then inserts into the bonuses table all employees who made sales, based on the sales_rep_id column of the oe.orders table. Finally, the human resources manager decides that employees with a salary of $8000 or less should receive a bonus. Those who have not made sales get a bonus of 1% of their salary. Those who already made sales get an increase in their bonus equal to 1% of their salary. The MERGE statement implements these changes in one step:
    MERGE INTO bonuses D
    USING (SELECT employee_id, salary, department_id FROM employees
    WHERE department_id = 80) S
    ON (D.employee_id = S.employee_id)
    WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET D.bonus = D.bonus + S.salary*.01
    DELETE WHERE (S.salary > 8000)
    WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT (D.employee_id, D.bonus)
    VALUES (S.employee_id, S.salary*.01)
    WHERE (S.salary <= 8000);
